-Chapter 7-

"I wonder where Mary is?" Callum whispered to himself.

"Why?" Mary's squad asked.

"I need to ask her something." Callum smiled gently.

"We'll go look for her!"

"Thanks a bunch."

The girls scattered around to find Mary, while Mary was walking down the hallway from the clinic. The girls sighed in relief when they found her, telling her that Callum was looking for her.

"Do I look okay?" Mary asked, fixing her hair and such.

"You're perfect." the girls complimented.

Mary walked in the classroom and Callum smiled at her, gesturing his hand as if he's calling her. Mary quickly walked to him and sat down on the empty chair of Dragen.

"What is it? I heard you were looking for me?" Mary smiled.

"Yeah, do you know where Lyved is?" Callum asked.

"She's probably with Teacher Bryan in the Guidance Room by now." Mary smiled deviously.

"Why?" 

"She did a bad thing against other students."

"She's really dangerous, huh?" Callum asked for confirmation.

"Yeah, you should stay away."

"Okay."

Mary looked at Callum. This is too easy, she thought. She got Callum wrapped around her pinky. She smiled and left, going back to her chair and stared at Callum's back all break.

"Lyved! There you are!" Teacher Bryan shouted.

Lyved turned around, hands in her pockets and slouched. She raised her eyebrow and walked over to the teacher. She was still chewing gum and just stared lazily at the teacher.

"I heard you attacked a bunch of students a moment ago! How could you do that?" 

".. who reported it?" Lyved frowned.

"Mary, thankfully, she didn't get hurt from you. Such a sweet girl."

"What's my punishment?" Lyved asked, looking away and put her hands in her pockets. Teacher Bryan looks like he really trusts Mary, she thought.

Teacher Bryan stared at the slouching Lyved. She seemed awfully complacent for hurting a person, she's even openly admitting it, he thought. This is bad, she's even my student and I can't take care of her. The principal might call him in.

"A week of community work." he said.

"Easy enough." Lyved said, waving goodbye and continued walking back to her classroom.

Teacher Bryan just stared at her in shock, even when she was already inside the classroom. He stared blankly and walked to the classroom, since it was his period next. He wasn't ecstatic that the principal might give him a scolding later on.

Lyved and Dragen entered the room at the same time from the two different doors the classroom had. She lazily walked back to her chair and slouched, not interested in what Teacher Bryan might say.

"Class, we're going to have an activity."

The class groaned, not happy that they have to play a homeroom game.

"Find a partner, any partner." 

And with that, Mary quickly ran to Callum, clutching onto his arm. The others finally got their own partners, until only Lyved was the last one. Lyved raised her arm and sighed.
